Hi, my name is Shrikant Joshi.

Who am I?

I started blogging in the early 2000s. Back then, I used to write short-stories under a (rather cringeworthy) pseudonym. Eventually, I tried my hand at writing some non-fiction stuff as well - web 2.0, was all the rage, back then. So, I penned a few thoughts at Corporate Spices - this was the first time I felt comfortable sharing my writing under my own name. Then, came the social networks. It began with MySpace, then Orkut, then Facebook, Twitter, and finally LinkedIn. As my scattered existence increased, so did the necessity for collecting and collating all these identities in one place. And thus, 42 Quirks was born...

Occasionally, I also try slapping bits of code together and, sometimes they stick. Python is my preferred language of choice, and I haven't really found enough reason and/or motivation for learning anything else. Here're some of my most recent 'achievements': HashPix, @updt_me, and d.ustb.in.
